Never heard of La Tech's RB Dixon and that's the truth. Really.

It's only a handful of idiots up there but they are very vocal. Some of them make it hard for me to pull for tech which is a shame because they do very well with what they have academically and athletically. There admin often tries to make digs at LSU and it just makes me smh. It was hilarious when their dipshit AD passed up a bowl bid in 2012 and the team didn't get another one.

This really makes me laugh. If we're the evil empire then they're Ewoks throwing sticks at the Death Star.

Didn't even realize Tech had a fanbase.
Imagine that, LA Tech thinking they're better than someone at something. The Tech fans I know are pretty arrogant.

Tech has already grabbed 2 moral victories on the season. Can LSU say that?
And let's not forget the moral victory opportunity against Miss State in October. Big things happening in Ruston.

I have a lot of ties to Tech and can say that while delusional, the true Tech fans are pretty die-hard. I think it's good for them to get behind their athletics because I do see a lot of potential there. I'm giving them a break here being that the posts were from July. I hope they've changed their tune after last week

As a Tech grad, I went for a top quality education and the opportunity to play baseball. However, these people are crazy! There is a contingent of alumni that truly believes that if it weren't for LSU taking all the money, that Tech could be just as big.
Ultimately, the hate for LSU isn't even close to the hate for ULM and ULL. Tech is trying to establish itself as the 2nd best school in the state in regards to athletics. Their goal is to get to a VA/ VA Tech-like rivalry, in which two schools can be competitive in most sports. Unfortunately, Tech just isn't there yet. They have fallen off in basketball, not been relevant for a long time in baseball, and football has been fair-to-middling. Track is still competitive, but they need a big three sport to make a step up.
The game day experience has grown by leaps and bounds since I was there, and with stadium and facilities improvements across the board, coupled with new department buildings on campus and a growing town, the foundation is complete. Now they just need Skip Holtz to bring in some winning teams.
The baseball team is getting better under a second year head coach in Greg Goff. I would like to see them renew an in-state series, Home/Home or weekend that alternates over the years with LSU. This died when Wade Simoneaux didn't get the LSU job after Skip left. (Thank goodness because he was horrible)
Regardless, these people need to stop acting like LSU isn't the flagship university for our state and start embracing the fact that they can utilize LSU to further their national brand through collaboration.

This is a preemptive assertion. I told you guys that if our players begin to get more exposure up here, they will not play nice. There is already a generated scoff because our db's are more highly regarded going into the season than those at "DBU". If our rb steals the limelight, it will get ugly. That's the kind of thing that hurts their instate strangle hold, and they have to maintain the assumption that they get the best players.
I refuse to accept that they actually believes these things.

Pathetic......just, pathetic

They have become as pathetic as ULL fans. Some of those clowns actually believe it's the media and the legislature who are keeping Tech down while propping up LSU.

This belongs in this thread.

Ho Lee shite. I've never seen that kind of stupidity from that many people at one time ever. You'd think that somebody on that board would have enough sense to tell them to shut the frick up and stop making fools of themselves

I am a LA Tech graduate. Got a brick with my name on it. LSU is the football program in Louisiana. I want to see Tech win as long as its not LSU, I can never see a time when any other Louisiana state university remotely challenges LSU in recruiting or any other facet of their respective football programs.
I truly like Tech, but I do not think one interferes with the other in that Tech and the other state programs are not on the same level as LSU.

The shift in opinions on that board over the last few months has been huge if you follow the thread. Now they think he is LF is incredible... I was reading it earlier today as I get some good info on new local businesses on the site.
Most latech fans are very down to earth, and the locals love LSU just as much if not more. In my experiences it's the ones from out of state that typically have LSU hate. No reason for locals like me to not love both. With small children I find Ruston to be a perfect place for me to live in state. Of course my 7yr old son thinks New Orleans and Baton Rouge ( both where we visit family often) are the greatest places on the planet to be outside of Vegas lol,but I like living where we are just fine
